Good Soaking Rain

The timing of this morning's rain couldn't be better for our new plants. I stopped by this morning to check it out. The water is percolating into the ground well. The curb cuts are capturing water from the north side of the street. I wish the street had been graded with a little more crown - because some of the surface water drains away from our swale. We need to make sure that when this street is resurfaced, a better crown is established.
